SPECIFICATION forming' part of Letters Patent No.' 752,893, dated February 23, 194i` applicati@ nea Angus: s1, 190s.

` Beit known that I, PETEROLAUS'EVENSEN, a eitizenof the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illi`- nois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements -in'PolicemensMaeeaof which the following i a specification. .Y

i This invent-i nrelates to-weapons, and has particular reference t improvements in arms carried by the constabularyrf v'Ihe object of the invention *is to enhance for emergency use, and to -alford the, oiiieer the double protection of club and gun all in a. single weapon.

A still further object of the invention is to provide an oiic'ers' gun which may be carried in full view and ready for any. emergency in fact that'he is armed lwith anything more than theordinary mace which itis customary necessary to carry and at the same time make1 the officer better armed bymaking the mace and revolver one instrumennwhich is always carried in the hand ready for instant use.

With the above objects in View the inventhe above-named features, illustrated in the drawings, fully described hereinafter, and incorporated in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a policemans mace embodying my inventiomthe same being' shown partly in section. Fig. 2 is an exterior view with parts broken off. Fig. 3 illustrates the club portion provided with merely a handle without the gun part. Fig. 4t 4is a detail illustrating a part of the club and the handle-socket por-I Fig. 5 is an end view of the revolver-cylinder; and Fig. 6 is the handle of themace, in which is mou'ntedthe trigger and hammer mechanism for discharging the cartridges. i

Referring to the drawings, 2 represents the club made of any suitable terial commonly shank 4, slightly reduced and threaded on its SerialNo. 171,348. (e model.)

outer end, as shown. ate'.` The ferrule may be provided with interior threads 6, into which the club is screwed, as shown." A' rivet or bolt 7, passing' diz nnetrically through the club and ferrule,` provides additional fastening means. ,and said disk retains the cylinder 9 upon the A disk 8 is -threade'donto the portion shankei. Betweenthe latter andthe ferrule 3 is a step o r angle 10,l itting a correspondinggroove 1 1 in the end of the 'cylinder The cartridge-cells 9 are shown providedfwith rifling 9 in the bores.

12 represents the handle of the weapon, which is hollowed out suificiently'to accom-I modate the cartridge-discharging mechanism comprising any suitable trigger and hammer arrangement-such as the hammer 13, pivoted at 14, the cylinder-revolving pawl 15, pivoted to the hammer at 16, the trigger 17, pivoted at 18 to a lug 19 upon the handleferrule 20. A bent spring 21, pivoted in the handle at 22, presses at its respective ends against the shoulder 23 of 'the hammer and the lug 24C of the. trigger 17. A spiral spring' 25, fastened to tlie hammer at 26 and' to the pivot end of the pawl 15, as shown, tends to hold the latter in engagement with the usual notches 27 in the butt-end of the cylinder. (Shown in Fig. 5.) The disk 8 is provided with a ci'rcularl flange 8, fitting 'into the ferrule 20, and is secured to the latter by means of screws 8 or other suitable means. The trigger and hammer engagement is of the well-known form and need not be described in minuto detail,. the operation thereof being perfectly apparent to those skilled in the art froma glance at Fig. 1. The ferrule 2O is shown in Fig; 2 as additionally secured to the handle by means of screws 28, and said ferrule is provided with a slot 29 in which the hammer moves. A suitable aperture is also provided in the disk 8 for the striking-nose 30 of the hammer.

31 represents cartridges in position for lirine' In Fig. 3, 31 is a simple handle without the revolver attachment,adapted to be screwed onto the shank 4 at such times as whenl there could not possibly be any occasion for use of the heavier mace, including the gun features.

Said handle 31 Iis provided with a socket-piece IOO l 3.2,' fastened a suitable aperture within the r25 cylinder mounted on said socket portion,

handleby means of a rivet 33, and having a suitable threaded hole for the threaded porti 5 of the shank 4.

he dotted' lines. for the trigger in Fig. 1 illustratehow said-trigger may be pressed vclolse to the body of the Weaponto better conceal its 'gun feature.

Substantially nothing more is added tothe thickness of an ordinary -macev by my invention than the thickness of a circular series of shells. The 'fer-rule 6` pr'otects the club from powder burns at the mouths of thecartridge-cells. A

It is obvious that numerous modifications may be made in the minor details of a policemans mace embodying my invention without departing from the spirit thereof, and I therefore do not confine my invention yto the speci fic-'construction herein show-n and described. Having thus described my invention, I claim as new| and desire to secure by Letters Patent* '1" 1. The 'combinationprovided with a ferrule having anintegral socket portion, a revolvera andle also mounted thereupon and a carl tridge-discharging mechanism mounted in said nandle.

2. The combination of a club healing-areduced shank threaded on its outer enderevolver-cylinder revolubly mounted 'on Said shank, a handlev having threaded engagement with said threaded end, andmeans independ#4 ently mounted in. said handle .for dischargin' cartridges in said cylinder.`

3. The combination of a club having a reduced shank provided with 'a male .threaded portion, a handle having a shank-aperture and suitable threads adapted to engage said male threaded portion.

4. Thecombination in a policemans mace,

-of a club, a fernalethreaded ferrule provided with an integral shank threaded on its outer -end, aldisk threaded upon said shank; a re-- volver-cylinder mounted on said shank between said disk and club, a hollow handle and means for securing same to said disk, and a n cartrldge-discharglng mechanism mountedin said hollow handle.
